Long-Wang( Patrick ) Chiang
姜龍王 Patrick (Ming-Chun) Chiang (b. 1990, Taipei) investigates technological displacement through long-term relational work. Working between documentary film and installation, he examines how those who build global technological systems experience the displacement these systems create.
His practice builds trust through shared meals, conversations, and months of presence rather than extracting stories from subjects. This approach emerged from five years as an installation designer in Taiwan, where collaborating with engineers and builders made him question whose labor remains visible. Guard of Art (2016) and The Artist (2021) investigated precarity in Taiwan's art world.
Microchips Recipes (2025) extends this methodology to technological labor. Through dinners with TSMC and ASML Taiwanese migrant semiconductor workers, this three-channel video installation reveals engineers navigating life between Taiwan and the Netherlands—building chips that power global computation while experiencing their own displacement.
As a Taiwanese artist based in Europe, Chiang examines this condition from within. His ongoing Dragon King's Feast gathers migrants in Eindhoven around shared meals, asking: How do we understand displacement not as individual experience but as the structural condition of living inside planetary technological systems? What forms of belonging emerge when home itself becomes a question technology poses? From art labor to technological labor to questions of technology and belonging, these shape his current inquiry into cosmotechnics and migration.
